Abstract

An imaging apparatus capturing optical coherence tomographic images of a test object based on a plurality of combined light beams that are obtained by combining a plurality of return light beams from the test object irradiated with a plurality of measurement light beams and a plurality of reference light beams respectively corresponding to the plurality of measurement light beams, the apparatus including: an instruction unit configured to give instructions about amounts of changes in respective optical path length differences between the plurality of reference beams and the plurality of return light beams; and a change unit configured to change the optical path length differences based on the amounts of changes instructed by the instruction unit.
